Faux lesbian teen drama Faking It gets new season

MTV has given the go ahead for a second season of their popular teen drama Faking It, whose initial premise saw BFFs Amy (Rita Volk) and Karma (Katie Stevens) pretending to be lesbians to gain popularity at their high school.

While critics were initially cautious – thinking the show may be simply a gimmick, star Katie Stevens says it never goes for the cheap laugh.

“We couldn’t really explain the show before we started,” says Stevens. “It’s not just two girls pretending to be lesbians. So it’s great to have people come up to me now and say they were wrong.”
